Welcome

We pride ourselves as a place to create and re-live memories with family and friends. We can't wait to show and share with you what tree-ripened fruit is all about. 140 Plus Acres of over 36 varieties of apples, plus pumpkins. Blue Jay Orchards is a picturesque 140 acre farm nestled in the quaint New England town of Bethel, Connecticut.  It is one of the very few remaining commercial orchards in Fairfield County. The farm's history as a modern orchard dates back to 1934 when Mr. Josephy brought a farm house and 50 acres from Elizabeth Weed.  The Weed family had owned the farm for many years.  When her husband died, Elizabeth Weed kept a few cows and sold butter that she churned from their milk.  She also opened her home to New York City vacationers during the summer months, becoming one of the Danbury area's first Bed & Breakfasts.

Over the next 50 years  the farm expanded from 50 acres  to it's current size, when Josephy acquired the dairy farm across the street and a vegetable farm adjacent to his property.  The farm houses of both farms remain in use today.
